Re: Support for 5th Amendment to Miami Design District Retail Street SAP
Dear Mayor Suarez, City Commissioners and Mr. Garcia:
The Buena Vista East Historic Neighborhood Association has collaborated over the years with our commercial
neighbors, the Miami Design District as it has evolved into the present-day international shopping, arts and
entertainment destination.
The Design District team presented a proposed 5th Amendment to the Miami Design District Retail Street Special Area
Plan to neighborhood residents in September 2019, which will include (among other things):
(i) The increase in height of the Tuttle South property at 3750 Biscayne Blvd. from 20 stories to 36 stories. The zoning
at the Tuttle North property at 299 NE 39th Street will remain the same with a maximum height of 20 stories. The total
gross floor area for the Tuttle Properties will remain the same as currently allowed.
(ii) The developer's ability to flexibly utilize previously unused development capacity (i.e., floor area) otherwise
available under the zoning regulations applicable to the SAP properties.
This letter confirms that Buena Vista East Historical Neighborhood Association continues to be in favor of the
above -mentioned revised 5th Amendment to Miami Design District Retail Street Special Area Plan.
Respectfully,
Robin Porter, President
Buena Vista East Neighborhood Association
